I'm currently working at a contracting company, whose name will not be disclosed, who loans out developers and other technical sorts to various other companies. Having been misplaced into a position that I was not trained for, and given an unreasonably offset shift schedule with which I have no time to eat or purchase groceries, I approached my direct manager to ask to be released from the project in order to seek another one instead.
This manager's response was to tell me to send a letter indicating my resignation from the company to him and one other person who manages this specific project.
I know that Texas is not a particularly healthy state in regards to workers' rights, but surely this can't be legal? Obviously, I'm not stupid enough to give them a resignation in writing just because they asked me to, but surely this manager doesn't have the authority to make me quit my job just for asking to move to another position?
